Trekking

Hikes in Finland

During my time as a Research Assistant at Aalto University in the summer of 2022, I promised myself that I would go for a hike every chance I got. Here is a compilation of hikes around the Helsinki region that I hiked. Pretty pictures and GPX files included!

Sandakphu: A Prologue

This is short read about my first attempt to trek to Sandakphu. This is meant to be read after my first post about my second attempt. My first trek after a break of a couple of years lasted a mere three days and ended in one of the most harrowing days of my life.

Sandakphu

This is the account of my second attempt to trek to Sandakphu - a summit in the Eastern Himalayas. Let us just say that my first attempt... did not go well. This week long trek had me digging deep into my mental reserves while rewarding me with not just great satisfaction but some photographs that I am very proud of!
